Bath repair near Ravenstone

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Bath repair at your home in Ravenstone

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the day after. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and chips on the rim or sides, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ravenstone and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Ravenstone

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Leicestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Do you come to Ravenstone?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Ravenstone from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ravenstone, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

What we are called out for in Ravenstone

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Before you book anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What affects the price in Ravenstone

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place
